No more than 2 families allowed to meet outside, although on the other hand they are supposedly saying outdoor exercise is recommended so who knows is the answer to training outside. Currently at 11degrees wet and windy there isn’t much they could do either. Mine has a broken finger across the...

So heartbreaking, I hope you find something else that she grows to love.

I hope you get a date to restart soon, both DD and DS have been out now for 24 weeks (we are in U.K.) so I understand how you feel. We finally have confirmation that DD goes back mid September and DS might restart September 1st (different clubs). They are both so excited to be able to start, DS...

No nothing ☹️ DS is bored of the zoom training now so I really hope we get some information soon. Surely if non essential shops can open gymnastics gyms can?? Especially if they limit numbers.

Last night on channel 4 (UK) there was a programme on South Korea’s response to COVID versus the UK. It was very interesting how well they kept it under control through the testing and tracking. But I can see how in many countries there would be an outcry at the invasion of privacy needed to do...

Mrsp you may find that the gym doesn’t charge full for the first month when it reopens?

I voted no, but this is the first week we haven’t paid anything, we paid full fees up until 1st May. Our club rents the gym and therefore are not being charged rental whilst closed. Our others clubs are asking for 15% so they can continue to pay the coaches, again no hire costs.

My DD 14 has been off for injuries prior to lockdown and she will be going back a totally different size and shape! Much curvier, around 5! inches taller and no idea how much heavier and with periods. She is a trampolinist and swimmer so hopefully it will not affect her too badly. DS is 11 and...

DS is doing 2 live sessions a week, circuits with me and DD then he goes out on his mountain bike almost every day so after a week of literally nothing he is reasonably active. DD refuses to join in her one live session due to anxiety but is doing circuits and the challenge exercises set by her...

Thank you JBS, I don’t post often but I really missed reading.

We are all closed down now in UK. Both mine have been ill so we are in self isolation. I think it is a better than even chance they have both had it, him mildly, her slightly worse but now ok. Unfortunately no testing unless hospitalised so we can’t be sure. DD only recently returned to...

UK based here, timings here are allowed to be 1 hour early maximum but obviously delays are limitless. They have to do general warm up ie running and stretching wherever they can find space then they get either a 2 touch warm up on the track/tramp or a set amount of time. We generally hang...

Hi, we haven’t been but a couple of the top gymnasts from DS club have been. They went as part of a GB squad and seems to be a high level meet with lots of international competition. It was great for them to have different and higher level competition as they do dominate here. Good luck

My DD and DS are the same. DD is currently having physio and some is development being mismatched and some laziness apparently. I have become a nag about it now!

Difficult to know what your gym will say. My DD gym had issues with her taking time off for my mum’s funeral and missing a session a week was definitely unacceptable. DS is(unsurprisingly) at a different gym and they are totally flexible, he is allowed to turn up late when he has other things on...
